An ink-on-vellum architectural floor plan by Flora Manteola that lays out the functional choreography of a television headquarters—studios, support rooms, circulation and a landscaped pond—so the building can operate and be experienced as a whole.
What strikes you first is the interplay of strict orthogonal grids and repeated octagonal studio modules, rendered in crisp, delicate ink lines, contrasted with a freeform, rock-edged pond at the plan’s edge.
The drawing showcases late‑20th‑century architectural practice in Argentina, marrying precise hand-drafting and programmatic rigor with attention to public sequence and landscape, and stands as an example of Flora Manteola’s influential role in contemporary architectural design.
